Dose Setting Device
The invention relates to a dose setting device for a drug delivery system of
the kind wherein
an end of a piston rod comprising a first and a second part is successively
pressed into a
first end of a cylinder ampoule containing a drug to press a piston closing
said first end of
the ampoule into the ampoule so that the drug is pressed out through a
delivery member
mounted at a second end of the ampoule, the dose setting being provided by
rotating the
second part of the piston rod in relation to the first part of said piston rod
the said parts being
connected by mating inner and outer threads on the respective parts so that
the total length
of the piston rod is increased by a distance which is proportional with the
extent of the rota-
tion of the second part relative to the first part and by which rotation of
said second part a
point on this second part of -the piston rod is moved away from a stop
position fixed in rela-
tion to a housing so that the set dose is delivered when said point is moved
back to the stop
position, the first part of the piston rod being guided in the housing so that
it can be axially
displaced but not rotated , and the second part of the piston rod remote from
the piston be-
ing mounted so that it can be as well rotated as axially displaced.
From EP 327 910 is known a device by which doses may be set by increasing the
total
length of a piston rod, which abuts a piston of an ampoule in the device, and
a piston rod
extension which is through a thread connection coupled to the piston rod. The
increase is
obtained by rotating the piston rod extension relative to the piston rod by
rotating a dose set-
ting member which can be rotated relative to the housing and consequently
relative to the
piston rod. A connection between the dose setting member and the piston rod
extension
makes the piston rod extension follow the rotation of the dose setting member.
By the re-
sulting increase of the total length of the piston rod and its extension, the
outer end of the
piston rod extension which were previously flush with the end of the housing
is passed out
through the end of the housing. The projecting end of the piston rod extension
is used as an
injection button which can be pressed until it again is flush with the
housing. Thereby the
piston is pressed into the ampoule a distance corresponding to the set
increase of the total
length of the piston rod and the piston rod extension. This setting and
injection process can
be repeated until the ampoule is empty and the piston rod and its extension
has reached a
rriaximal length at which time the whole device is disposed of.

Similar dose setting devices are used in durable devices wherein only the
ampoule is re-
placed by a new one when empty. Before a new ampoule can be mounted in the
device it is
necessary to screw the two parts of the piston rod together to reduce the
total length of said
piston rod inclusive its extension to the original length it had before the
length was increased
through repetitive dose settings. As mentioned the two parts have to be
screwed together
manually or the thread may be made with a pitch by which the angle of friction
for the piston
rod material is exceeded so that the parts, if allowed to, will rotate
relative to each other and
this way be screwed into each other when the parts are pressed axially towards
each other.
Also the threads may be formed so that they may be drawn out of their mutual
engagement
when they are pressed towards each other. This axial pressing may be resulted
by move-
ment of a part of the housing of the device in order to obtain access to the
space accommo-
dating the ampoule.
By the device described in EP 327 910 the end of the piston rod rise over the
end of the sy-
ringe a distance corresponding to the dose set. By small doses this distance
may be very
small, less than 1 mm. It may be a wish that the injection button has to be
moved the same
distance independent of the dose which is going to be injected.
A device wherein that wish is met is described in EP 245 312 In this device an
injection
button with a push rod is reciprocated between fixed end positions. The push
rod has a
length allowing it just to abut the piston in the ampoule when the injection
button is pressed
home. If the length of the push rod is increased by a distance corresponding
to a set dose
when the rod is in its retracted position, it will next time the injection
button is pressed home
press the piston into the ampoule a distance corresponding to the elongation
provided by the
setting of the dose. After the injection the push rod will again be withdrawn
from the piston.
When the ampoule is empty, the push rod has been elongated to about twice its
original
length and before a new ampoule can be mounted in the device, the push rod
must be
screwed back to its original length. A drawback by this device is that the
push rod is drawn
away from the piston when the injection is finished and the injection button
is no longer
pressed, as the piston due to its elasticity and due to the pressure in the
ampoule may move
backwards in the ampoule whereby as well the just injected dose as the
subsequent one are
made imprecise.

Whereas injection devices so far has been given the shape of a fountain pen, a
trend now
point towards shorter devices which rather have the shape of a large lighter
or a small pack
of cigarettes. A reason for this development may be that ampoules with larger
content, 3 ml
instead of previously 1,5 ml, demands a pen diameter which makes it impossible
to maintain
the fountain pen illusion.
Whereas the device according to EP 327 910 could be provided with a flexible
piston rod to
adapt it to a short device, the device according to EP 245 312 is not suited
for such adapting
as the whole piston rod and its extension have to reciprocate in a guide which
guides a fiexi-
ble rod. Whereas the resistance against the movement of a flexible piston rod
through a
piston rod guide may serve as a barring against backward moving of the piston
rod, it will be
unacceptable if the piston rod shall be reciprocated as reciprocation is
conditioned on a reset
spring which can overcome said resistance. When an injection is made the
injection button
must be pressed with a force which overcomes as well the resistance in the
guide, the force
of the spring, and the force necessary to press a liquid out from the ampoule
and inject it.
It is an object of the invention to provide a dose setting device which is
suited for short de-
vices.
This is obtained by a device as described in the opening of this application
which device ac-
cording to the invention is characterised in that the first part of the piston
rod is maintained in
abutment with the piston in the ampoule, that the second part of the piston is
coupled to a
gear engaging gear teeth on a dose setting drum to rotatethe second part of
the piston rod
when said dose setting drum is rotated, and that an injection mechanism is
provided com-
prising an injection button which can be moved between a projecting position
and a pressed
home position, and which injection mechanism has elements acting on the second
part of
the piston rod to move this second part so that the point on the second part
is moved to its
stop position when the injection button is pressed home.
In an embodiment of the device according to the invention the threads may be
not self lock-
ing, the gear engaging the teeth of the dose setting drum may be locked
against uninten-
tional rotation in relation to the housing, and the stop position may defined
by an end position
of a surface of a lifter forming a part of the injection mechanism which
lifter is reciprocateable
between fixed end positions, and said point of the second part of piston rod
may be defined

as an endpoint at an end of this second part of the piston rod, which endpoint
in abutment
with said surface forms a pivot about which the second part of the piston rod
can rotate
when not locked against such rotation.
When the threads connecting the two piston rod parts are not self locking the
two parts may
be pressed together if they are allowed to rotate in relation to each other.
However the first
part cannot rotate relative to the housing and as the second part carries a
gear engaging the
teeth of a toothed dose setting drum which is again locked against
unintentional rotation in
relation to the housing, the two parts cannot be rotated relative to each
other unless special
precautions are taken. A movement of the injection member a constant distance
each time
an injection button is pressed is ensured by the provision of an injection
member which can
be reciprocated between fixed end positions. When this member is in its end
position defined
by the fact that an injection button is pressed home, a surface of the member
defines the
stop position to which a point of the second part of the piston rod is moved
when the injec-
tion button is pressed home. The fact that said point is an end point at the
outer end of the
second part of the piston rod, which endpoint in abutment with said surface
forms a pivot
about which the second part of the piston rod can rotate when not locked
against such rota-
tion, ensures that the piston rod will either transmit axial forces from one
end of the piston
rod to the other or its parts will rotate so that the two parts are screwed
together and the ac-
tive piston rod is shortened. If the dose setting drum is voluntarily rotated
to set a dose, the
second part of the piston rod is rotated relative to the first part to change
the length of the
piston rod in accordance with the relative rotation as the rotation of the
dose setting drum is
transmitted to the second piston rod part through the gear.
According to an embodiment of a device according to the invention a connection
from a lid
covering the ampoule may force the piston rod away from the piston, unlock the
dose setting
drum for rotation, and move the second part of the piston rod towards said
surface of the
lifter to make said end point of this second part abut said surface when the
lid is opened.
When the first part of the piston rod is drawn away from the piston the nut
member will be
pressed towards said surface of the lifter and due to the threads being not
self locking and
due to the second part of the piston rod being freely rotateable the nut
member will induce a
rotation of said second part of the piston rod and this way be moved to the
other end of said
second part of the piston rod to be ready for a new series of dose settings
and injections.

In a preferred embodiment of a device according to the invention the threads
may be self
locking, the stop position may be defined by a beam fixed in the housing which
beam may be
abutted by a member fixed to the second part of the piston rod, and the nut
member may be
so designed that its thread can be coupled free from its engagement with the
thread of the
5 second part of the piston rod.
Self locking threads may have a smaller pitch than threads which are not self
locking and a
lower pitched thread gives a more precise setting of a dose. With self locking
threads rotation
of the second part of the piston rod may not be relied on when the nut element
is going to be
moved along this part and the nut element has to be coupled free from its
engagement with
io the thread on the second part of the piston rod to be moved along said
second part without
this part is rotated. This movement may appropriately be induced by a
connection from the lid
covering the ampoule when said lid is opened to replace an empty ampoule.
To obtain said coupling free this nut member may have two intersecting bores
of which one
bore has an inner thread matching the outer thread of the second part of the
piston rod and
the other bore is smooth and fits slidingly over the thread of the second part
of the piston, the
nut member being tiltable mounted to the first part of the piston rod so that
the threaded bore
is concentric with the second part of the piston rod during dose setting and
injection and is
tilted by said connection which act on the nut member to bring the smooth bore
to a position
concentric with said second part of the piston during the withdrawal of the
piston rod.
Therefore, in accordance with the present invention, there is provided a drug
delivery system
comprising: a housing; an ampoule accommodated in the housing and having an
interior with
first and second ends, a piston closing the first end, which piston can be
pressed into the
ampoule, a membrane closing the second end, and a medicine disposed in the
ampoule
interior between the piston and the membrane; a piston rod mounted in the
housing and
comprising first and second parts, wherein the first part is flexible and has
a first end which is
maintained in contact with the piston and a second end which is deflected 180
degrees relative
to the first end and includes a thread, wherein the second part includes a
thread which mates
with the thread on the first part so that rotation of the second part relative
to the first part
changes the total length of the piston rod, wherein the housing includes a
guide allowing the
first part to move axially but not rotationally, wherein the second part is
mounted in the housing
for both axial and rotational movement, wherein rotation of the second part
relative to the first
part causes the second part to move in a first direction away from an initial
position to set the
CA 02294638 2006-05-08
5A
amount of a dose, and wherein the second part can be moved in said first
direction away from
said initial position no more than a maximum distance representing a maximum
dose; and an
injection mechanism comprising a push button which can be moved between a
projecting
position and a pressed home position, wherein the injection mechanism includes
a piston rod
moving element that, responsive to moving the push button from its projecting
position to its
pressed home position, moves in a direction opposite to said first direction
from a first end
position to a second end position and engages the second part during at least
part of such
movement to move the second part back to said initial position upon reaching
said second end
position, and wherein the distance between the first and second end positions
is at least as
great as said maximum distance, whereby the distance of movement of the push
button is
independent of the size of the set dose.
In the following the invention will be described in further details with

In figure 1 an ampoule 1, which is at one end closed by a piston 2 and at the
other end
closed by a not shown rubber membrane to receive a needle hub 3 with an
injection needle
4, is contained in the housing 5 of an injection device, the housing 5 being
indicated by a
dotted frame.
The piston is acted upon by a flexible piston rod comprising a first flexible
part 6 which may
e. g. be made as a tightly wound helix of resilient steel. One end of the
flexible part 6 acts on
the piston 2 through a piston rod shoe 7 whereas the other end which is by a
not shown
guidance deflected 180 from the first end and is provided with a nut member 8
having an
internally threaded opening. An externally threaded spindle 9 is carried in
this opening with
its thread engaging the internal thread in the opening of the nut member 8.
This spindle
forms a second part of the piston rod. By rotation of the spindle 9 in the nut
member 8 the
total length of the piston rod may be changed by varying the part of the
second part of the
piston rod which lies in extension of the first part 6.
An injection mechanism comprises an injection button 10 at an end of a cogged
bar 11, a
gear 12, and a lifter 13 having a cogged arm, the coggings of the bar 11 and
the coggings of
the arm of the lifter 13 being at diametrically opposite sides engaged by the
gear 12 which
can rotate about a pin fixed the housing whereby a downward movement of the
injection

button 10 and the bar 11 is converted to an upward movement of the lifter 13
which can
press the outer end of the spindle 9 and thereby press the piston rod in an
axial direction so
that this piston rod forces the piston 2 further into the ampoule 1. When the
device is made
ready for injection, a not shown spring will force the injection button 10 to
the shown pro-
jecting position relative to the housing and the lifter to a lowermost
position. By injection the
injection button 10 can be pressed home to abutment with the housing 10 where
abutting
parts 14 are indicated. Not shown stops defines the extreme positions of the
parts of the in-
jection mechanism. These extreme positions are indicated by lines 15 and 16
indicating the
lowermost and uppermost position, respectively, of a surface 17 on the lifter
13. The dis-
tance between the lines 15 and 16 is marked as D.
In figure 1 the outer end point 18 of the spindle 9 lies at the line 16
pressed to this position
by the lifter last time the injection button 10 was pressed home to abutment
with the housing.
A dose may now be set by screwing the spindle 9 outwardly in the nut member 8
to make its
end point 18 lie between the lines 15 and 16. The size of the dose is defined
by the distance
between the end point 18 and the line 16 as the endpoint 18 will be moved back
to this line
when the injectionbutton 10 is pressed home. The spindle is provided with a
gear 19 engag-
ing an inner toothing on a dose setting drum 20. The drum has a bottom 21 with
radial knuris
engaging corresponding radial knuris on a disc 22 which is by a spring 23
pressed against
the bottom 21 of the drum 20, the knuris being so designed that they with
hearable clicks
rides over each other each time the drum 20 is rotated a certain angle. e.g.
corresponding to
an altering of the dose setting by one unit. A dose can be set by rotating the
drum 20. This
rotation will be transmitted to the spindle which is screwed outwardly in the
nut member 8 a
distance corresponding to the rotation of the dose setting drum 20. It must be
noticed that a
too large dose may be reduced by rotating the drum 20 in the opposite
direction.
The rotation of the dose setting drum 20 is sensed electronically and is
transmitted to a dis-
play whereby the size of the figures on the display is independent of the
physical size of the
dose setting drum 20 and all other advantages obtained by electronic settings
and displays
are obtained.
Figure 2 shows the device with the injection button 10 pressed home to
abutment with the
housing as it appears after a dose has been injected. A not shown lock is
provided keeping
the injection button 10 in this position until it is released again, e. g.
when the dose setting

drum 20 is operated. Also when the apparatus is stored away until the next
injection, the in-
jection button is maintained in this pressed home position.
Figure 3 shows the device in the same condition as figure 2 but in figure 3
the ampoule is
empty and a new eiement 24 is shown, This element is a piston rod withdrawal
element
which is connected to a drawer element 24a in which the ampoule is held.
Figure 4 shows how
the element 24 moves the nut member towards the surface 17 of the lifter when
the ampoule
1 is drawn out to be changed. As the injection button is locked in the pressed
home position
the end tip 18 of the spindle abuts the surface 17 of the lifter which is
consequently locked in
its shown position. The surface 17 and the tip 18 forms a pivot about which
the spindle can
rotate if allowed to. When the ampoule drawer is opened the disc 22 is
initially drawn away
from the bottom 21 of the dose setting drum 20 and this way the dose setting
drum 20 is set
free to rotate. A condition which must be fulfilled is that the engaging
threads of the spindle 9
and the nut member 8 are not self locking, i.e. that the angle of inclination
for the thread is
larger that the angle of friction for the threaded materials.
Figure 5 shows a detail of another embodiment of a dose setting mechanism
accoPding to
the invention. In this embodiment a spindle 25 forming the second part of the
piston rod has
an axial bore the inner wall of which is provided with a number of
longitudinally grooves 26.
The spindle 25 is screwed through a nut member 27 at the end of the flexible
first part 6 of
the piston rod whereby the spindle 25 is divided into a projecting part
forming an extension of
the first part 6 of the piston rod and a part lying behind the nut member 27.
Said part lying
behind the nut member 27 is guided rotateable and axially displaceabie in an
opening in a
lower beam 29 of an E-shaped construction fixed in the housing. A flange 28 at
the end of
the spindle 25 limits the axial movement of said spindle and in this way also
its rotateabillity
as the spindle 25 will through its engagement with the nut member 27 be
longitudinally dis-
placed when rotated until the flange 28 abuts either a middle beam 30 of the E-
shaped con-
struction or the lower beam 29 of this construction.
A mainly cylindrical carrier 31 is inserted in the end projecting end of said
spindle. The car-
rier has on its outer cylindrical wall longitudinal splines 37 engaging the
longitudinal grooves
26 in the inner wall of the bore in the spindle 25, as it is seen in figure 6,
so that rotational
movement of the carrier 31 is transmitted to the spindle 25 whereas the
carrier 31 can be
moved axially into the spindle 25. At its outer end surface the carrier 31 is
knurled to engage

corresponding knurls on a gear element 32 which has teeth engaging an inner
toothed rim
33 in a dose setting drum 20. A pin 35 running all the way through axial bores
in the gear
element 32 and the carrier 31 is at its end projecting through the gear
element 32 terminated
by a disc 36 secured to said pin. The pin extends through the bore of the
spindle 25 and
through a bore in a counting element 38 mounted on a mainly cylindrical stem
39 inserted in
the end of the spindle 25 which carries the flange 28. The outer cylindrical
wall of the stem
is provided with splines 40 engaging the grooves 26 in the spindle 25 so that
said stem can
be displaced axially but must follow the rotation of the spindle 25. The
counting element is
placed between the middle beam 30 and an upper beam 41 of the E-shaped
construction
and has at its outer wall not shown means for activating not shown contacts or
sensors fixed
in the house to monitor the extent of rotation of the counting member 38 and
consequently of
the spindle 25 which said counting member is bound to follow. The pin extend
through the
stem 39, the counting element 38, and the upper beam 41 of the E-shaped
construction and
is at its upper end provided with a toothing engaging a gear corresponding to
12 in figure 1 -
4 so that the pin carries out the function of a lifter. The elements inserted
in the respective
ends of the spindle 25, i. e. the carrier 31 and the stem 39, are pressed away
from each
other by a spring 42 positioned in the bore of the spindle 25. Thereby the
knurls of the carrier
31 is pressed into engagement with the knuris of the gear element 32 and an
end wall of the
counting element is pressed into abutment with a surface of the upper beam 41
of the E-
shaped construction. Said surface of the upper beam 41 is provided with
protrusions 43
which engages mating depressions 44 in the end wall of the counting element.
When a dose
is set by rotating the dose setting drum 20, the toothed rim 33 of this drum
will rotationally
drive the gear element 32 from which rotation will be transmitted via the
carrier 31 to the
spindle 25 unless this spindle is in a position wherein its flange 28 abuts
the lower or middle
beams 29 or 30 respectively, and the rotation is in a direction which further
moves the flange
towards the beam in question, in which case the coupling formed by the knurled
surfaces of
the gear element 32 and the carrier will be released by the knuris sliding
over each other as
the carrier 31 may be pressed away from the gear element against the force of
the spring
42. This way transmission of rotational forces which could be damaging to the
device is
avoided. By an injection the flange will be moved to abut the middle beam 30
of the E-
shaped construction. From this position a dose is set by screwing the flange
away from said
intermediate beam 30. The size of a set dose is determined by the distance
established be-
tween the flange 28 and the middle beam 30 and a limit to dose which can be
set is deter-

mined by the rotation needed to make the flange abut the lower beam 29 of said
E-shaped
construction.
When the spindle 25 is rotated the stem 39 with the counting element 38 will
follow this rota-
5 tion and the protrusions 43 on the upper beam 41 will slide out of the
depressions 44 press-
ing the counting element 38 away against the force of the spring 42 until the
projections
meet new depressions to engage. The protrusions and depressions may be
provided with a
circumferential spacing which makes the number of clicks provided by the
successive en-
gagements indicate the size of a dose set.
When a dose is set and the flange thereby is moved away from the intermediate
beam 30 of
the E-shaped construction, injection may be performed by pressing the
injection button of
the device to draw the pin 35 towards the end of the piston rod. The spindle
25 forming the
second part of the piston rod is acted upon by a shoulder 45 on the gear
element abutting an
end surface 46 of the spindle 25. A play between the shoulder 45 and the end
surface 46
ensures that the gear element 32 is drawn out of engagement with the the
toothed rim 33
before or on an early stage of the injection. This way the dose setting drum
is set free so that
the size of the dose cannot be influenced during the injection. It must be
noticed that the in-
jection button must have a stroke sufficient to allow the lifter to lift the
gear element 32 free
of the toothed rim 33 and to move the spindle a distance corresponding to the
maximal dose
which can be set.
The engaging threads of the nut member 27 and the spindle 25 are self locking.
This allows
a smaller pitch of the threads and ensures a more precise dosing. However,
precautions
must be taken to ensure that the thread of the nut member 27can be drawn out
of engage-
ment with the thread of said spindle so that the nut member can be moved from
one end of
this spindle to the other without rotating the spindle when the piston rod is
drawn back to
make room for a new filled ampoule when an empty ampoule is drawn out to be
replaced.
Figures 7 and 8 shows a nut 27 member having a first and a second bore the
axis of which
are intersecting by making an acute angle with each other, the first bore
having a diameter
corresponding to outer diameter of the threaded spindle rod 25 and the second
bore having
an inner thread mating the outer thread 47 of said piston rod only on parts of
this second
bore which are not comprised by the first bore.

During dose setting and injection the nut member 27 is in the position shown
in figure 7 with
its second bore coaxial with the spindle 25 and the thread 48 in this bore
engaging the
thread 47 of said spindle 25. When the spindle is screwed downward in the nut
member 27
to set a dose or is lifted upward to inject a set dose it will try to rotated
the nut member in the
direction of the arrow 49 about a not shown pivot pin at the end of the first
part of the piston
rod which pivot pin engages a journal 50 arranged on the nut member 27. When
the nut
member by a piston rod withdrawal element is acted upon at an edge
diametrically opposite
